the effect of shear rate on dissolution of carbon dioxide in viscoelastic wheat flour matrix and cell density in a glass barrel twin screw extruder is investigated. it is found that by increasing the shear rate there will be a decrease in the required thermodynamic conditions and hence, it improves blowing agent dissolution and increases the cell density. shear rate breaks up big bubbles and he...

The influence of different parameters upon cell culture of serum-free adapted 293 cells including the surfactant Pluronic F-68, carbon dioxide (5% CO2 atmosphere), buffer HEPES and antibiotic-antimycotic has been explored. A defined serum-free medium (SFM) formulated without human or animal origin components from Invitrogen was used to grow the suspension adapted 293 cells. For all cell culture...

3-Hydroxypropanoic acid (3-HP) is an important biomass-derivable platform chemical that can be converted into a number of industrially relevant compounds. There have been several attempts to produce 3-HP from renewable sources in cell factories, focusing mainly on Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Despite the significant progress made in this field, commerci...

this study was conducted to compare different propagation methods and two cultivars (azarshar red, and kashan white) as a rcbd in factorial with four replications in shirvan in 2001. in azarshar red onion, high yield belonged to sets method that 30 percent more than seed sowing. in kashan white bulb cultivar, high yield was get from seedling cultivation and there were no significant differences...

In this paper, Plug-in Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (PFCEV) is considered with dual power sources including Fuel Cell (FC) and battery Energy Storage. In order to respond to a transient power demand, usually supercapacitor energy storage device is combined with fuel cell to create a hybrid system with high energy density of fuel cell and the high power density of battery. In order to simulate the...

Cell-based therapies have generated great interest in the scientific and medical communities, and stem cells in particular are very appealing for regenerative medicine, drug screening and other biomedical applications. These unspecialized cells have unlimited self-renewal capacity and the remarkable ability to produce mature cells with specialized functions, such as blood cells, nerve cells or ...

The overall design of an industrial crop production system should optimize the system's global parameters, such as total area required, intensity of cultivation and general production schedule. The key element is the optimal intensity of cultivation for the prevailing climatic and economic environments. A single-state-variable vegetative crop model (e.g. lettuce) was used to optimize a crop pro...
